Which qualities you can get

You only see resolutions the video really has. A 480p upload stays 480p — nothing is upscaled or invented. Sizes are shown before you download.

A video choice is Free when it is no higher than 1440p and no larger than 500MB. Bigger files up to 2GB, and anything above 1440p, need Supporter access. Choices above 2GB are not offered.

What you get with NoBsDL

Sound included

YouTube stores HD video and audio separately. NoBsDL joins them into one MP4, so the file plays with sound.

Real formats only

The quality list is read from the video itself, with an estimated file size for each choice.

Made for phones

Works in Safari and Chrome on iPhone and Android. No app, no extension, no sign-up.

MP3 from the same link

The MP3 options sit right under the MP4 ones — no second lookup.

Nothing to dodge

One download button per format. No popups, no forced redirects, no fake download buttons.

Temporary files

Prepared files are removed from our server automatically, normally within about an hour.

YouTube downloader FAQ

Is this YouTube downloader free?

Yes. Single videos download free and without an account. A video choice is Free when it is no higher than 1440p and no larger than 500MB; MP3 is Free up to 100MB. Supporter access raises the limit to 2GB and unlocks resolutions above 1440p.

Can I download YouTube videos in 1080p or 4K?

1080p and 1440p are Free when the video has them and the file stays under 500MB. 4K is never Free: 2160p and higher need Supporter access. You only see qualities the video actually offers.

Does NoBsDL add a watermark?

No. NoBsDL never adds its own watermark or logo. You get the video as YouTube serves it.

How do I download a YouTube video on iPhone?

In the YouTube app tap Share → Copy link, open this page in Safari, paste the link and pick a quality. Safari saves the file to the Files app (Downloads). To move it to Photos, open it in Files, tap Share and choose Save Video.

How do I download a YouTube video on Android?

Copy the link from the YouTube app, paste it here in Chrome and pick a quality. The file goes to your Downloads folder and shows up in your Files or Gallery app.

Can I get only the audio?

Yes. MP3 at 128, 256 or 320 kbps is listed right under the MP4 choices. YouTube to MP3 shows the same audio options first.

Can I download private, members-only or live videos?

Private and members-only videos don't work. Streams that are still live work only in limited cases; once a stream has finished, its replay is handled like a normal video.

How many videos can I download at once?

Up to three downloads can run at the same time from one connection. For a whole playlist, use the playlist downloader.
